How do you test to see if a toddler is a genius?
my son is almost 3 and he knows colors, shapes, ABC’s, 123s, he knows the names to the trains in his Thomas the tank engine collection (he has like 20), he know basic sign language and he also knows how to spell his name…. we talk all the time now and he communicates his needs clearly. … sometimes i think he is a genius but i dunno…
I read to him and we study flashcards all the time. He has been watching Baby Einstein since he was 4 months.
Should I start teaching him simple math?
Your son will learn math best through his play and everyday activities. You do not need to “teach” him math. For preschoolers, concepts like same/different, more/less, sorting, matching, etc. are more important. If he has the patience for it, get some simple board games like Chutes and Ladders or CandyLand.
You might want to do little projects with him. If he’s interested in dinosaurs, go to the library and get books, go to the museum, draw dinosaurs, build a dinosaur model together, whatever you can think of! Think of expanding his knowledge horizontally rather than vertically.
Is he a genius? Who knows?! Often children may appear to be way ahead of peers at an early age, but his peers will catch up in K or gr 1. That’s why you can’t really say that preschoolers are gifted or not – many are just precocious. IQ tests at this age also are not necessarily indicative of later giftedness. Play with him, enjoy him, encourage his interests and help him learn about the world around him.
